Because I needed something that I knew would work (I mean fitment wise), would cover as much of the rad as possible, and could push as many CFM as possible. I also didn't want something with a factory shroud, as it would obstruct airflow in my application. As cooling is a big concern for my application (and any rod), this isn't an area where I cheap out.
Same here. The summers get hot here and with the AC going I wanted to give the stock radiator as much help as possible.
Also the salvage yards in my area have earned the moniker "junk yard" as what they typically have is not worth messing with unless you are desperate. Wish we had a good wrecking yard in these parts.
